Recently I wrote a full review of Wire Secure Messenger. One of my complaints in the article was the lack of support for integrated browsers other than Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. I am happy to report that based (at least in part) on that article Wire now offers support for both Brave and Snowhaze. Continue reading “Wire iOS Update: Brave & Snowhaze Support”
What happens to all of our encrypted data and accounts when we die? This week, we discuss privacy considerations before we pass. Continue reading “Complete Privacy & Security Podcast E082”
I wrote a review of Wire Secure Messenger over a year ago. Since that time my opinions and views on Wire have changed. Wire has also updated its feature set. With that in mind, it is time for another look at my favorite encrypted messaging application. My old article is not required reading, as this article will tackle the topic again from scratch.

I have used Joaquin “Chapo” Guzman as a case study for cell phone interception in my classes for several years. Only now do I have the full story of how the world’s most notorious drug trafficker was brought down due to his reliance on electronic communications. If you have an interest in how government agencies exploit cell phone activity you should read Hunting El Chapo by Andrew Hogan. The technical specifics are dated but the concepts, like link and network analysis, are not. Continue reading “Book Review: Hunting El Chapo”
